walnutMr.Children

NTT DoCoMo’s 2003 commercial song.
When I listen to this track, I start to wonder: how is the current me different from my childhood self? Am I the person I imagined I’d be back then? Have I become just a cog in society and lost sight of myself? It makes me feel like I’m questioning who I am now.
A gentle songMr.Children

When you’re overwhelmed with yourself, you can’t even notice a helping hand.
I was drawn in from the very first lyrics.
Realizing that my past self was naive gave me the courage to live honestly and true to myself.
The feeling of being full of love for someone else is what matters most, isn’t it?
